  1. Tootsie Roll Lab Understanding the Scientific Method

  2. First Step Make Observations to formulate a Problem statement • Ms. Crawford has observed that her science classes like to chew a variety of things during class. • Candy • Gum • Pencils Although this against the rules in my class. I have developed a question or problem statement based on this observation. What could it be?

  3. My Problem Statement? • How many chews does it take to finish a Tootsie Roll? What could my hypothesis be?

  4. My Hypothesis……… If Ms. Crawford’s students eat a tootsie roll in science call then I think it will take them 50 chews to finish the tootsie roll.

  5. Materials Needed???? • Tootsie Roll • Student • Science Notebook • Pencil

  6. Procedures • Get Tootsie Roll • Remove wrapper • Place candy in mouth • Chew candy until finished making sure to count each chew.

  7. Don’t forget the Data!!! • Record the number of chews it took to completely finish the Tootsie Roll…. • It took ________chews to finish my tootsie roll. • How can we represent this data?

  8. Lets Review the Scientific Method. • Problem • Hypothesis • Experiment • Independent variable: The rate I chew the tootsie roll (fast/slow) • Dependent: The number of chews to finish • Constant: Tootsie Roll Data Conclusion
